one nitpick though because it is my area of expertise: a spotlight would typically be referred to by house directions not stage. Unless the book was talking about an ERS fixture which could be a over stage rather than a moving spotlight which would be a house position.

this book felt like it was speaking directly to me honestly. Georgia Jackson and Isaiah Bloom were both deeply resonant characters to my life and reading them was absolutely brutal and awful and depressing. But like in a good way I think

something funny btw: after finishing part 2, I was walking my dog and literally thinking about how this book would make such a good play. Imagine my surprise (quickly replaced by incredibly messy sobbing for that entire chapter by the way) when that is exactly what Georgia does

but yeah that chapter fucked me up super bad. had teared up/small cried a couple times already but the writing about grief and memory and remembrance in that chapter was what fully got to me.
